Tailed Beast Transformation, the Three-Tails Descends, Uchiha Yao Relocates the Battlefield!

Amegakure.

At the summit of a towering iron tower.

Konan's figure quietly appeared beside Nagato.

"Nagato, we have news."

"Sasori has already been killed."

"Deidara defected and joined Konoha."

Nagato's emaciated body remained perfectly still.

"Uchiha Yao?"

"Yes." Konan nodded. "According to intelligence, the Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Yao, killed Sasori personally."

Nagato fell silent.

Only after a long while did he slowly speak.

"War brings nothing but pain."

"To end this endless cycle of conflict, this world must feel true pain."

"Only under absolute terror will people truly long for peace."

Nagato seemed to be speaking to Konan, yet also seemed to be talking to himself.

"Uchiha Yao... He wants to unify the Shinobi World in his own way and establish some so-called order."

"But he does not understand true pain."

Kirigakure, Mizukage Building.

Mei Terumi continued leading Uchiha Yao toward Yagura's location.

Suddenly.

A terrifying surge of Chakra erupted violently from the top floor of the Mizukage Building!

Boom—!

It was filled with a savage, ominous aura, as though it would swallow the entire building whole!

"This is...!"

Mei Terumi's expression changed drastically.

At the same time.

Within a distorted space that no one could perceive.

Uchiha Obito, wearing a Swirl Mask, watched it all coldly through a gap in space.

Just moments ago, he had used Kamui's intangibility to silently infiltrate the Mizukage's office, then used the ocular power of his Mangekyō Sharingan to send the Three-Tails within Yagura completely berserk!

"Uchiha Yao..."

"Let me see just how much stronger you have become!"

"Enjoy this grand gift!"

Obito sneered inwardly.

He did not expect the berserk Three-Tails to kill Uchiha Yao. He merely wanted to use this opportunity to take a good look at Uchiha Yao's strength once more.

Rumble, rumble, rumble—!!!!

The very next second after
